Winter's First Blizzard

For those in the south who don't like to hear whining about the weather and wonder why some of us spend our winter's in the north.... I will post mostly pictures here today.  For those in the north who understand, I hope you will enjoy knowing you are not alone.  Although we spend time shoveling, we also spend time playing.   Our house is at the bottom of a steep hill near the lakeshore.... wonderful in the summer.... challenging in the winter.  The garage, cars, mailbox, newspaper, etc. are all at the top of the hill!  

Here's a shot of me bringing a package from the mailman down to the house on my plastic sled.
And also the gorgeous panoramic view from my kitchen windows!
